Former Met Nick Evans, popular with fans during parts of four seasons spent in New York, has signed a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, his agent, Marc Agar, told the Daily News. The deal includes an invitation to major league camp as a first baseman and third baseman.

Evans, 26, left the Mets to sign with Pittsburgh last year, but played in just 21 minor league games after suffering a broken hand. Evans is expected to be fully healed in time for spring training.

@JeffPassan How excited are the Marlins to have Yunel Escobar? They were calling around shopping him last week, before the mega-deal was even official.

Adam Wogan, who oversaw the minor league system under Omar Minaya and then Sandy Alderson, will not have his contract renewed, according to the Daily News. Wogan was bumped up to a front-office role this past season, with Jon Miller taking over Wogan's former minor league role.http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/met...medium=twitter

According to Baseball America, the Mets have signed RHP Wanel Mesa to a Minor League contract.

Mesa has pitched in the Independent League since 2011 and most recently appeared with the Bridgeport Bluefish, making three appearances and one start and allowing seven earned runs in 6 2/3 innings last season.

He spent 2006-2010 in the Nationals organization, last appearing for Single-A Hagerstown in the South Atlantic League in 2010. He went 2-4 with a 7.00 ERA in 38 relief appearances that season, and is 9-15 with a 5.95 ERA in seven professional seasons.
